'The Shinging' -->'SOLO'
<--
Starting with the initial still of both 9 shots, 'The Shining' begins with an establishing shot so the audience know the scene of where the clip ill take place. It is therefore, clear for the audience to know where the following clips will take place unlike, with out shot which begins with a close-up shot of Christel, the audience are left in awe. In real media products, a situation is already displayed for the audience; in our still, the audience have to figure out for themselves what is going on.
Comparing the second stills, it is obvious that in the real media they have better access to better filming equipment, in this case, a helicopter to capture a 'birds-eye-view' shot of the scene. This allows the audience to feel superior as they are 'above' and privileged, whereas, with our still, as it is a mid close-up shot on Alima, the audience feel sly; almost as if they are spying on her. The extreme close-up used helps to create tension as it reveals the emotion of the character and indicates how the audience should feel.

Also, with the use of dar lighting and high in contrast, it helps to create a convention of a thriller film.
Looking at the font used in our third still and the font used in the 9 shots of 'The Shining', similarities are that we have both used a type of sans serif font indicating a serious atmosphere that engages a mature audience; both title sequences create tension for the audience. However, unlike with 'The Shining', we have challenged the idea of placing our title at the beginning of our title sequence by placing it at the very end in order to create more suspension.
Unlike in the real media, where the writing tends to stay in the center third of the screen, we have chose to place our titles in different positions.
In the real media, they tend to keep the shots of the 9 shots similar or almost the same whilst we chose to pick the most appealing for an audience. This may suggest that in the real media, they choose to withdraw the real idea of their film from the obvious and when it comes to the audience watching it, they are in shock as what they did not expect is presented to them. With our 9 shots, the audience are aware that something mysterious is taking place as stills include, a shot of Alima getting followed, a leg getting tied up and a timer.
Other similarities between the media products used in our title sequence and in the real media include the use of a car as a prop, however, during our 9 shot, the audience know which actors are to appear in the title sequence. Both thrillers use an 'eerie' soundtrack which adds to the suspension. On the other hand, 'The Shining' have kept their actors away from the 9 shots, also creating suspense for their audience.
